This literature review covers types of interventions that have been effective in increasing reporting of hate crimes motivated by perceptions of learning disabilities and mental health problems. It also looks at interventions that have been effective in supporting people through the process of reporting disability hate crimes and areas of potential areas of unmet need. It draws on academic literature, online resources and knowledge from key organisations, providing links to examples of good practice. The review identified a shortage of evidence around the efficacy of interventions designed with the explicit aim of increasing disability hate crime reporting. However, reports from several projects indicate several promising areas, which include: awareness raising; befriending links; third party reporting centres; safe places initiatives, support for reporting and disabled people's user-led organisations. The review also identifies gaps in the evidence to suggest potential areas for future interventions and research.

This literature review was commissioned by EASPD to improve its understanding of the employment of people with disabilities in Europe and the strength of the financial case for inclusive employment. It provides cost-benefit analyses of labour market inclusion of people with disabilities can have for governments and public authorities, as well as the wider benefits for businesses and individuals. The review carried out extensive and structured searches on a number of database for research articles in English, published between 1980 and 2016. The main findings show that disabled people, taxpayers and government are likely to benefit financially in the long term from greater investment in employment in the open labour market of persons with disabilities. It also identified a large variety of models, working to different objectives, which support people with disabilities in work, training and employment. In terms of models supporting persons with disabilities into the open labour market, supported employment and individual placement and support have proved to be effective in doing so and with high cost-benefit return to the taxpayer.

This toolkit aims to help social workers, mental health and housing professionals to make their services more accessible and relevant for disabled/Deaf women and girls who have experienced violence or abuse. It is based on the findings of use-led research led by Vision Sense and co-produced with Against Violence and Abuse (AVA) and the Centre for Disability Research (CeDR) at Lancaster University. The report provides the results of a literature review on longer term interventions; a review of learning from Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs), Domestic Homicide Reviews and Preventable Death Reports to identify learning from service providers; and the results of interviews with disabled/Deaf women and girls who has experienced violence on what they want from services to help them stay safe in the medium and longer term. The research identified severe barriers to equality of outcome for disabled or Deaf women who are survivors of violence, particularly at the intersection of gender, disability, ethnicity, poverty and multiple disadvantage. It concludes that the co-production of solutions with disabled survivors who have a lived experience of violence can help to achieve quality of outcome and improve life chances. The research also found that much regulation in safeguarding, inspection, commissioning and for-profit or charity provision is failing disabled people. The report includes checklists and recommendations for all services and specific recommendations for individual services, including Safeguarding Board; health and social care services; and housing services. The project was funded by Big Lottery Fund through DRILL (Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning) Fast Track.
